2007 has proved to be our best year ever. With approximately 3000 people through the gates the sun shone down on us and everyone had a great day.

Entries were over 650 in the produce tent even though it had been a poor year for gardeners. the judges commented on the high standard. The children's entries were well supported and the non stop flowering begonia proved popular with over 30 entries.

Music was provided through the day by Simply Northumbrian who played a variety of folk music.

The Kelly Hendry School of Irish Dancing took to the stage and gained huge applause and praise throughout the day. These were followed by the talented Wilkinson School of Dance with Northumbrian Clog dancing and scottish dancing. again going down very well with the crowd.

The fun dog show was well supported with a lot of children taking part with heir dogs.

New for 2007 was the Cumberland Wrestling. This proved popular eventhough we clashed with the biggest event in the wrestling calendar Grasmere

Other events included the children's games - running,egg and spoon and sack race as well as a tug of war.

There were the local foxhound pups and a horse shoeing demo from the local blacksmith as well as many craft stalls and a 35foot hammer and bell.
Our most popular and unique ride was the magic carpet ride where over 300 people enjoyed being towed behind a tractor on a 'Magic Carpet'.

In the afternoon the Terrier Racing down the centre of the field closely followed by the mens tug of war and the obstacle race which included walking on ducks feet stilts and riding in a wheelbarrow.

With a final presentation of trophies and the auction the day drew to a close at approximately 5.30pm
